# [Why Inexpensive EPA Software May Not Be The Right Option For Your Business](https://www.skilltechsolutions.co.uk/blog/why-inexpensive-epa-software-may-not-be-the-right-option-for-your-business)

Managing [End-Point Assessments](https://www.skilltechsolutions.co.uk/blog/why-an-epao-must-be-impartial) can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially if you are responsible for a high volume of apprentices. Investing in inexpensive [EPA software,](https://www.skilltechsolutions.co.uk/epa-process) and then discovering you must complete some tasks manually due to deficiencies in the software, is frustrating and will do little to simplify the assessment process.

## In What Areas Does Cheaper EPA Software Commonly Fall Short?

❖ Insufficient storage can make it impossible to manage a large number of apprentices.  
❖ Substandard security can render your data vulnerable to hackers and spammers.  
❖ Missing integrations with Outlook and Google mean important diary dates will have to be manually added, increasing the risk that they will be overlooked.  
❖ An absence of activity notifications or reminders can mean vital tasks are missed, leading to disruption in the assessment process.

Investing in a more comprehensive EPA software solution may incur a higher initial cost; however, the long-term benefits will achieve greater cost savings by streamlining the assessment process, improves the management of apprentices, and reduces the time spent on routine manual tasks.
